I don’t want to fix anything because I know I lack the expertise to do it proper justice. I was pointing something out.

I am not surprised at all at the response from the preservation arena. I am not arguing either.

I am not trying to undermine the goal of any sort of preservation effort of a film. I don’t want to make a thread about an observation when I have no current plan to do anything with this film unless I thought it was worth the scope of me spending quite a lot of months doing it and even then I know I have not quite got what it takes to achieve what I would want. I’m also not making suggestions.

I was simply trying to explain Harrison Ellenshaw’s Matte painting was encroaching on another element that would make up the whole image and that I felt it was a shame that it’s that way.

Now If you’ll excuse me I am about to goose walk off to me DVD collection grab my original copy of Star Wars but whilst doing so I shall hold one hand under my nose and shout.

Good day to you 😃
